Instead, the autumn/winter 2013 collection will be shown to press and buyers in an intimate "salon-style format", reports
WWD.

Wang was appointed creative director of Balenciaga in December last year, replacing Nicolas Ghesquiere who had held the position for 15 years and turned the once-ailing French fashion house into one of the world's biggest luxury brands. At the time, Isabelle Guichot, president and CEO of Balenciaga hinted that Wang's first show may not be a full-blown catwalk spectacle, saying that the brand did not want to put the 28-year-old New Yorker "under unnecessary pressure".

Wang showed his eponymous label's
autumn/winter 2013
show at New York Fashion week last Saturday.
